What exactly is Turf Toe?

Factual Questions
1

I tried a search on this in General Questions, but came up empty.

Obviously it is an afflicaton that Football players suffer (and other athletes, too?) who play on artificial turf - but was is it? A badly stubbed toe, since turf is basically a thin layer of plastic over concrete? Is it a rash or something because the turf is unyielding (but wouldn’t wearing a shoe protect you from that?). Is the skin broken somehow?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide…

Try a Google search for “Turf Toe”. Many sports injury sites have descriptions, such as this one.
